The GUTM Committee is busy updating the vendor policies and applications for the 2020 festival.  Applications will be available on December 15, 2019.  

 NORTH CAROLINA SALES TAX ID NUMBER

Vendors from the expanded Appalachian area are encouraged to apply and participate in our festival.  The State of North Carolina requires that all festival vendors obtain an North Carolina Sales Tax Number and display it in their booth on the day of the festival.  You can obtain a free North Carolina Sales Tax Number online by visiting the North Carolina Department of Revenue Website. If you already have a North Carolina Sales Tax Identification Number, there is no need to re-apply.  

ARTS AND CRAFTS VENDORS

All Arts and Crafts vendors must be engaged in selling their arts and crafts that are handmade and/or locally produced. No retailers or independent consultants selling non-handmade products will be accepted to the festival. If you are a local business and wish to participate in the festival, please visit our Sponsors page. Please download the Arts and Crafts Vendor Application below to review the schedule of fees and festival policies for the 2019 festival.

 FOOD VENDORS

Vendors selling food items which require inspection by the Health Department should complete the Food Vendor Application.  Others selling specialized food products such as popcorn, shaved ice, ice cream, or similar items which do not require inspection by the Health Department should complete the Arts and Crafts Vendor Application.  Please download the Food Vendor Application below to review the schedule of fees and festival policies for the 2019 festival.

If your booth does not require electricity to operate, please indicate that a non-electric booth space is acceptable, as there are limited booth spaces with access to electricity.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

Local Non-Profit Organizations may apply to participate in the festival.  Non-Profit Organizations are required to provide a game, raffle, giveaways, or other interactive activity for festival attendees. Please download the Non-Profit Organization Application below to review the fee schedule and festival policies for the 2019 festival.
